Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1010

Seeing Sophie stride confidently away from Gordon's study, Jenna quickly flashed her a thumbs-up and caught up, saying, "Sophie! You're so brave! You're like my hero!"

Jenna had been in Devonport for ages and had never seen anyone talk to Gordon like that.

Sophie was truly one of a kind...

Instantly, Jenna's eyes sparkled with newfound admiration for Sophie.

"You think... Gordon might seek revenge on me?"

Sophie's legs had actually turned to jelly when she spoke those words in the study.

Gordon was a tough nut to crack, even for Colby. Speaking so boldly in front of Gordon was only possible because he had a big heart. If it had been anyone less forgiving, who knows how they'd have made her pay.

"Ugh... Not sure, but I remember the last person who was disrespectful to Mr. Gordon couldn't get by in Devonport anymore." Jenna couldn't help but add, "Of course, what that person said wasn't as daring as what you said, so I can't even begin to imagine what might happen to you."

Hearing this, Sophie suddenly felt like surrendering: "Jenna... Do you think it's too late to apologize now?"

"Well... if you're sincere enough, maybe. But Gordon's got a tough personality; it might take some serious coaxing to get through to him."

Sophie was scared but didn't regret it.

If she hadn't been so firm about making Gordon take his medicine, he would never have agreed.

If he didn't take it, he might as well be waiting for death.

"Apologies can come slowly. After all, Gordon can't hold a grudge against me forever, right? The harsh words I said in front of him... he probably... won't take them to heart, right?"

"Too kind... too kind..."

Sophie didn't take it as a compliment and felt even more guilty.

Making Gordon take the medicine today had used up all the courage she had. She consoled herself that Gordon hadn't gotten angry only because he was in a good mood. Otherwise, she would have been thrown out of the second-floor study by now.

That evening, Sophie quietly lingered at the door of Gordon's study. When Rick saw Sophie standing there, he asked, "Ms. Sophie? What are you doing here?"

"I came to check on Gordon..."

Mid-sentence, Sophie felt her actions were a bit odd and corrected herself, saying, "I came to see if Mr. Gordon had spit out the medicine."

"Ms. Sophie, you're overthinking it."
